Do you feel like Frankenstein while walking in snowshoes?? Are you always hitting you shoes together as you step? Do you wish for a snowshoe with the flexibility to walk on packed trails or deep snow? If yes, then buy these great shoes:

The MSR name stand for quality, dependability, and durability. Buying a product from them means you are well taken care of. These shoes have a slight taper to the back. This helps to walk normal without banging them against each other. They binding system is a little weird at first but once you get it down you can tell how well you can fine tune your shoes for ultimate comfort on the trail.

They fit a large array of footwear. From hiking boots to snowboarding boots. The main crampon really bit into ice and hard snow and the rear rails keep you from sliding. I love the 6” extensions. I hike many packed down trails but sometimes I get there first after a big storm, throw on the tails, and away I go. They are great when I carry a pack too.
